Speaking at a press conference, Putin characterized Schröder as an impartial and honest figure capable of facilitating a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict. The proposal highlights Schröder’s long-standing relationship with the Russian leader, though his professional ties to Russian energy corporations have made him a polarizing figure in Germany.

"Nah…"
Let's Take back Crimea….
So the reports of a putsch are true. Putin's inner circle have turned against the war, an if he doesn't end it soon, they'll end his rule.
DW Russia Analyst is speaking from a prison. From where all these anti Russia thugs are launched by military industrial complex of the west. 😂😂😂
Only DEATH written across his face. Russia needs a new leader to do any negotiations. Nobody trusts this Putler, not even his own allies.
We have new arrangement for safety in Europe US and Russia out 😂 Arm the sjit out of ourself with domestic production thanks Trump and Putin
Of corse…His former lover! So much mental insanity!
just because Putin wants end why should end come. i think a big push until Putin surrenders or is eliminated should be the wests’ goal
He’s just saying that. He is just saying things to throw the stupids of this world off and into thinking that he is going to end it. Russia is the instrument of chastisement to punish the Earth by God.
Putin is ready for piss.
Deeds, not words
Both equally aligned and dodgy as each other.
Putin definitely want to end this war, but on his own terms. From the very beginning I was predicting that he will lead the war until a day before total russia collapse, and that day before he'll make a peace deal and will call it a win for russia. And that actually will be some sort of win for russia, because they will avoid consequences for starting this war.
Putin should strike militarily at NATO. The US is not going to help.
Zelensky should propose Biden😂
You can tell when Putin is freaking out. His language becomes very soothing.
I think Putin might mean Schrödinger. In that way Ukraine can be both Russian and not Russian at the same time.
Another 'Neutral' negotiator joins the gang: Kushnerov and Witkoffiev in one corner, and then Shroderov in the other. Very, very 'neutral' crew…
Why should Zelinskyy go to Moscow?
"Better windows."
And that's a strong nyet.
The war will end only when Russia collapses economically and withdraws troops from Ukrainian territory. Slava Ukraine!!!
😂😂😂 💩tin is losing 😂😂😂
God knows what is he planning, kgb's big boss
Thismust include the total withdrawal of Russian armed forces and Russian civilians from the entire temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine including Donbas and Crimea. The territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and 1991 border recognized by the UN must be restored, honoured and respected
This guy talking like Ukraine and Europe is winning
Two weeks special operation! 🙂 very special. Putin the specialist 😀
If I’m a Ukrainian general now is the time to launch a probing offensive to see how far a push can go
He wants to end war on his timing now😂😂😂. How about Ukraine rejects every diplomatic request and continue on the frontline. Maybe the US can step in this time to help. Putin is losing support for this war he can no longer justify it. Ukraine has some interesting choices to make. Chess 📖📖📖
I agree. It's just a KGB ploy to divide the West. Watch Trump play into Putin's new scheme — whatever it is.
This is thé last KGB joke from
Vlad le Sanguinaire Poutina !!!
pootin is saying things? its a trick, dont trust him, dont let yer gaurd down for even an instant.
I hope so!
I hope Ukraine wins!
Ha, yeah, I’m sure moscows a perfectly safe journey. What a clown
You can always believe what Putin says. Is it still a special operation?
Putin should have retired in 2006 and moved to Maui to Surf and Smoke Weed . . . oh well.
Schröder – another one of Muscovy's Chekist puppets.
Of course he wants Zelenskyy to come to Moscow. Putin has to have any attempt at peace talks in a place where he holds the cards.
